Don't Forget.
Good Housekeeping.


 That anxiety is easier to bear than sorrow.
 That talent is sometimes hid in nap kins, audacity never.
 That good brains are often kept in a poor looking vessel.
 That the time to bury hatchet is before blood is found upon it. That mistakes are often bought at a big price and sold at small one. That if it were not for emergencies but little progress would be made in the world.
 That it is often better to go a good ways round than to take short cut across lots.
 That the statement SO often made in print that "rest makes rust" is the veriest rot.
 That tears shed upon a coffin will not blot out the stains that may have been cast in life upon the stilled heart within it.
 That many man sets up carriage only to find less of enjoyment in it than he has had in holding the rib bons from his tone hoss shay" That if we would do more for others while we may we should have less regrets, when too late, that more had not been done when "it might have been."

The Globe reported Colonel Charles H. Taylor as saying at the OBrien banquet that if he owned Ireland he would sell it short. What he did say was that if he owned England he would sell it short; and he writes to the Globe over his own signature to say that if he is not more correctly reported he shall have to s'stop the Globe" Colonel Taylor is the only man living who could carry out that threat.-LosceU Courier.

 "She said she had gone up there to see her parents"
 "Pore critter! They both died nigh on ter three year ago, with typhoid fever. It was their last wish ter be buried on the mounting, fur my brother Stephen Cher dad) had been borned and lived all his life on this here mounting farm. It's Mandy's now, and 1 lives here ter tek care of her"
 "But how did she lose her mind?"
 "Well, she cried and went on awful arter her dad and mann died, and then she tuck sickness they calls menin- gity. She was plum crazy when she got well, and tuck her ter great mad-doctor in Knoxville. Elf you'd b'lieve it, that gal runned away and come here, all the way on foot, by her lone self. Twicct tried it, and twicet she done the same thing. Then they tolt me twan't no use ter tek her from here. She's bound ter see the moun- ting all the time, and she gifts mad and ravin' away from it."
 "But don't you feel uneasy some times when she's wandering?" asked.
 Whats the use? Ropes couldn't hold her when she wants ter go up the mounting, and she don't go mo- whar else. She lows her dad and mann air up thar, and that they comes and talks ter her. But times tween the fits she's pearter than most gals, though she's always crazy. She'll spin at her mam's spinnin'- wheel thar all day, and sometimes all night, too. She's makin' ready ter go at it now. Well, anyhow, she ain't onhappy."
 I looked at the tall, thin figure, the pale, pretty face, the large, gray eyes, with their restless, seeking look, and wondered if her pathetic delusions did not bring some comfort.
 Mrs. Becker gave me supper and a warm bed, but at intervals through the night I could hear the monoton- ous whirl of the spinning wheel.
 Bright and early the next morning, with Mandy for my guide, I started for Galbraith's.
 Shell tek you straight, till you gifts to the valley" said Mrs. Becker, "but she ain't goin' to leave the moun- ting one step. You'll find yer way easy when you gifts down thar"
 Silently we descended. The sides of the ridge were broken into deep gull lies, forcing us to take kind of zig gag route, so it was some time before we reached the valley. When we came to the valley road, my guide stopped, pointed towards the west, saying: "Thar!" and sprang as nimbly as goat up the rocky ascent.

Finds It Cool. Memphis Ledger.

MT. George w. Cable finds the weather very cool in the south, and the further south he goes the cooler he will find it. IH New Orleans he will be freezing. He will not feel at home any more until he gets back to New England, where he is sure of applause whenever he ridicules and misrepre- sents the people of his birthplace. The money he has made and cheap, short-lived fame will be but poor compensation for the loss of self-re- spect along with nearly all the social ties and friendships of carly life. It is easy for man to cast off friends, but hard to pick them up again, and the new ones found are never the same to him.

THE WREN'S NEST.

During the recent encampment at CamI George Washington" MT. Frank Hume en two companies from the south at his place "Warwick" on the Virginia Heights He had prepared to fire a salute from large cannon on the lawn, which had seen servicC in 1881, but was deterred by discovering thai a wren had built her nest and matched out hel brood in the mouth of the gun.-ED.l On a grassy lawn, 'twiXt tree and flower, grim old cannon stood; And Il score of years had passed and more, And time had healed Nations sore, Since the iron lips drank blood. And year by year the building rose
 And all the wealth of spring Stretched tender blossoms sweet and close To veil the memory of the woes
 That stern old gun must bring Far reaching round the peaceful view Surrounds that relic dread; The distant landscapes varied hue, The dome distinct on heavenly blue,
 And the City of the Dead. And when it chanced one summers day A kindly host designed To make welcome, meet display To soldier guests in fair array
 Upon his lawn aligned He thought to fire one more salute
 From the old and rusted gun- And rouse again it's echoes mute In welcome, well contrived to suit
 The scene the sun shone on. But tiny wren in trustful mood
 Therein had built her nest And blocked the way to cartridge rude With helpless little tlutt'ring brood
 In their iron home at rest. So the kindly host forebore to load,
 And the little birds had peace; The grim old guns wrens abode And rusts away in peaceful code
 And bitter mem'ries cease.

Flights of Genius.
Chambers, JonrnaI.

"You look" said an Irishman to a pale, haggard smoker, ''as if you had got out of your grave to light your cigar, and couldn't find your way back again."
 A schoolmaster, describing money lender, says: ''He serves you ill the present tense, he lends you in the con- ditional mood, keeps you ill the sub- junctive, and ruins you in the future" !" A close observer of human nature re- marks: "Time marches on, with the slow, measured tread of the man working by the day" A French author is charged with the prediction that France will throw herself into the arms of the liberating sword. This is not quite so bad as the Demo- crat's speech; "We will burn our ships, and with every sail unfurled, steer boldly out into the ocean of free dom"
 A clergyman on board ship began a sermon in the following manner: "Dear friends, shall embark my ex- hortation on the barge of my lips. in order to cross the stormy ocean of your attention, and in hope of arriv- ing safely at the port of your ears."
 A learned counsellor, in the middle of an affecting appeal in court on a islander suit, treated his hearers to the following flight of genius: Islander, gentlemen, like a oa-constrictor of gigantic size and immeasurable pro- portions, wraps the coil of it's un- wieldly body about it's unfortunate victim, and needless of the shrieks of agony that come from the uttermost depths of it's victims soul-loud and verberating as the night thunder that rolls in the heavens-it finally breaks its unlucky neck upon the iron wheel of public opinion, forcing him first to desperation, then to madness, and finally crushing him ill the hideous jaws of mortal death."
 A young American lawyer en- ployed to defend a culprit charged with stealing a pig resolved to con- vince the court that he was born to shine. Accordingly, he proceeded to deliver the following brilliant exor- dium: May it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, while Europe is bathed in blood; while classic Greece is struggling for her rights and lib- critics, and trampling the unhallowed altars of the bearded infidels to dust; while America shines forth the bright est orb in the politicial sky-I, with due diffidence. rise to defend the cause of this humble hog thief"
 Pray, my lord," said gentleman to late respected and rather whim- sical judge, "what is the difference between law and equity courts?" "Very little in the end" replied his lordship; "they only differ as far as time is concerned. At common law you are done for at once; in equity you are not so easily disposed of. The former is bullet, which is in- simultaneously and charmingly effect i've; the latter is an anglers hook, which plays with its victim before it kills it. The one is prussic acid, the other laudanum."
